Frequently Asked Questions
With the towels being 100% cotton, it is best to launder them with a cold-water wash and warm rinse. Softener is ok to use if you are not using the towel material interior as a drying cloth. Softener takes away the towel's ability to absorb water. We do not recommend using softeners on our towels.
Then dry these robes in one of two ways. When the weather is nice, air drying them outside is a wonderful and fresh way to keep them like new. When dry from the outdoors, bring them in and fluff them up in the dryer to bring out their softness. In the winter time, dry the robes on light dry in the dryer. These robes are 100% cotton and care is needed to keep them from shrinkage.
While standard robes are woven at 400 grams per square meter, our Benon robes outweigh that mark with an astonishing 500 grams per square meter and a two-ply construction of fine Egyptian cotton known for superior absorbency and a premium plush, crafted texture worthy of a platinum standard.
What is the difference between a Turkish towel and a cotton towel?
The Turkish towel is known in history as a plush comfortable towel used as an expression of hospitality to welcome guests in the home. Turkishtowels.com wanted the highest quality of products for our customers. Therefore, we selected a towel made in Turkey where towel production is a great industry making Turkey one of the three top suppliers in the world. Here is where quality counts.
The other important feature of a Turkish towel is the cotton. Many towels are claimed to be cotton yet are really just terry cloth. Our towels are 100% Egyptian cotton or a blend of 100% Long Staple Fine Cotton. The Egyptian cotton is regarded as the cream of the global crop with the longest staple of any type of cotton - 1 - 1/2 inches or longer. Although originally from Egypt, Cotton is also produced in other countries but still complies with the original Egyptian standards. Considered the finest cotton in the world, it is soft, silky, strong, and less likely to pull or lint.
So, what makes a Turkish towel special? The simple answers are two - made in Turkey (quality) and the finest of all cottons (soft, absorbent, and wonderful to feel).
Our Terry Robes are 46 in long for a very comfortable fit. I own this robe and find this one is the best for warmth and coziness during the cold winters that we have. I am about 5 ' 7 " tall and the Benon Robe falls mid-calf. I think with the plushness and softness of this robe, it would suit your purpose and size just fine.
The thyme color of our heavy and soft towels is the ones with a hint of green in them. In fact, they show greener than tan. The ones that are tan-looking only are called sage. So, if you are looking for green, the thyme would do nicely. If you just want a tannish color, go with the sage. Both colors are from the Heavy and Soft collection which is our best seller and I am sure you will be happy with their plushness and absorbency.
When it comes to the quality of our towel collections, they are all exceptional. The difference between the Heavy and Soft Collection and the Absorbent Collection is the look and the feel. The Absorbent and Soft collection is our best seller. They are definitely a fine choice when it comes to elegance and the look of richness and quality. These towels are soft and comfortable. I have personally found that the towel is great for my husband since he likes its weight and absorbency, while I find it rich and elegant to hang in our bath.
The Absorbent on the other hand has a thicker softer look and feel. It hangs more relaxed on the towel rack and is super soft. These are what I call "cuddle towels". Soft enough for a baby's skin. As an interior decorator, I think you will find that both towels are great in showing yet for different purposes. An elegant bath in a master's room would demand our Heavy and Soft towels. The Absorbent towels speak guest room and child's room; more for the relaxed type of atmosphere.
The images on the site are very realistic when it comes to color and look. Unfortunately, at this time, we do not have swatch samples.
When it comes to the bath mat being available only in Heavy and Soft colors, most of our customers chose a bath mat color close to the towel color of the other collections.
